FAQs

Can these be used on uPVC doors?

No, these escutcheons are specifically designed for use on timber doors.

Are the fixings included in the package?

Yes, the set includes all necessary fixings required for a standard installation.

Does the set include two covers?

No, the set includes one open escutcheon and one with a rotating privacy cover.

Will the gold finish rust?

While the material is durable, like all plated finishes, it should be kept dry and cleaned periodically to prevent oxidation or tarnish.

Can I use these for a rim lock?

These are intended for mortice locks; they may not fit the aesthetic or mechanical requirements of a rim lock.

Troubleshooting

The privacy cover feels loose or doesn't stay in place.

Check the tension screw on the back of the escutcheon. A minor adjustment can increase the friction to keep the cover in your desired position.

Screw heads are visible or stripping.

Ensure you are using a screwdriver bit that perfectly matches the screw head size to prevent damage during tightening.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Rotating cover effectively reduces cold air drafts
  • Durable construction suitable for high-traffic areas
  • Simple, straightforward installation process
  • Versatile for both interior and exterior timber door use

Cons

  • Gold finish may tarnish if not cleaned regularly
  • Designed specifically for mortice locks only
  • Requires manual alignment during installation for a level finish

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation is simple and requires only a screwdriver. Ensure the door is pre-drilled to accommodate the mortice lock center. Position the plate over the keyhole and mark your screw points before securing with the provided fixings.

Compatibility: This product is compatible with standard mortice lock mechanisms on timber doors. It is not intended for use with multipoint locking systems or uPVC doors.

Care: To maintain the gold finish, wipe the plates periodically with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scouring pads, as these can strip the finish and cause permanent scratches or discoloration.
